In case anyone missed me.

Had a couple of years break for personal reasons and the gear has been packed away.
Lo and behold, no sooner had I unpacked my 10" Newt, pulled it apart, cleaned the mirrors, got it back together, collimated and so forth, the clouds appeared and it's been raining for the past week.
I figure I can pack the gear in the car and drive around out west a bit to break the drought
Well, the rain can't last forever, and I still need to buy some sort of planetary imager so I can get some shots of Mars and Saturn while they're still in good position.
cheers all
Mark
